Why did you rush me back here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng slipped on the slippers and walked naturally to the sofa, sitting down with his legs crossed as he sized up Nico and Anbi sitting across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi had changed out of her white dress from earlier and now wore casual clothes along with her ever-present black skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still just as adorable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Nico... she seems to change clothes three or four times a day—pajamas, home clothes, a second set of home clothes, then back to pajamas after showering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is even when she doesn’t leave the house...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what she wears, she can’t hide her stunning figure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good evening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi gave Ye Qingfeng a dazed greeting, with a faint air of human-machine disconnect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s something important...” Nico glanced at Anbi beside her, her lips twitching; she turned her head away, her gaze drifting uncertainly toward Ye Qingfeng. “Why don’t we cook first? We can talk while eating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure!” Ye Qingfeng agreed readily, yet he didn’t rise—instead, he reached out his hand toward Nico. “But before you cook, isn’t there something else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico tilted her head, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me Ding Ni!” Ye Qingfeng said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>????!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought you were this kind of person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico shot to her feet, pointing at Ye Qingfeng in outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Ye Qingfeng’s turn to be confused!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, earlier you wouldn’t pay me wages, and I had to wash clothes and cook every day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that I’ve finally accepted it, you still expect me to cook for free?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all my acceptance was for nothing?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s face darkened as he prepared to reason with Nico, but she beat him to it, launching into a complaint: “How can you do this to me? How can you betray the Rabbit Hole? You heartless bastard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s first thought was that Nico had found out about Zhu Yuan—but then he realized that was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Nico had a mole in the Public Security Bureau!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the key question was—why did she look like the victim?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico bit her lip, her eyes slightly reddened, wearing the look of a woman abandoned by a scoundrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined Ye Qingfeng was the type to be ungrateful—and how could he even have the nerve to come back? And dare to ask for Ding Ni?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt; her eyes slowly filled with tears. Beside her, Anbi silently picked up the long sword on the coffee table, gripping the scabbard and slowly drawing it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng felt utterly innocent—he had no idea how he had wronged Nico, or how he had betrayed the Rabbit Hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think you should tell me what happened before drawing your sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s lips twitched; he sensed deep hidden issues here—shouldn’t they clarify things first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!” Nico pressed down on the fiercely watching Anbi, took a deep breath, and began recounting her nearly certain guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Billy say this morning he was going to introduce you to a girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng hadn’t expected the accusation to start here, but he gritted his teeth and answered: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” Nico let out a cold laugh; she hadn’t expected him to admit it so honestly—she might have slightly raised her opinion of him, but her tone turned bitter as she continued: “Then why were you and Billy both gone this afternoon? Did you go meet that woman? Can her figure compare to mine?!” Fuming, Nico hefted her ample bust and shouted: “If you’ve set your eyes on some outside woman, how dare you come back? And how dare you ask for Ding Ni?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you and Billy weren't around this afternoon! Did you go to see that woman?! Does she have a better figure than me?!\" Nico shouted, hefting her ample melon-like bust, \"If you've set your eyes on some outside woman, how dare you come back? And how can you even ask for Ding Ni?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico grew more agitated, pointing furiously at the distant door: “If you plan to keep seeing that woman, you can leave right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng couldn’t help but smile, letting out a laugh. Nico blinked, then snarled: “What’s so funny? Did I expose your dirty thoughts and now you’re just dropping the act?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I just didn’t expect you to have such a wild imagination!” Ye Qingfeng had assumed she meant Zhu Yuan, but after hearing her out, he realized it was a massive misunderstanding. He shrugged and spoke plainly: “I did go to meet a girl this afternoon—but it had nothing to do with Billy. The Public Security Bureau asked me to assist with tomorrow’s event.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico’s affection for Ye Qingfeng had also reached 60%; logically, she shouldn’t have reacted so strongly. But when you listened to what she’d said, it became clear: her anger stemmed from believing Ye Qingfeng had betrayed her—along with Billy, both had silently chosen to abandon her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ye Qingfeng’s blunt demand for Ding Ni had confirmed her suspicion. In the past, he never would’ve said such a thing—but now things were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would accept working without pay and doing all the cooking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Ye Qingfeng had no reason to hide the Zhu Yuan matter—it would’ve been better to just say it outright; otherwise, when Nico eventually found out, she’d only spiral again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, this whole mess was Billy’s fault!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh?” Nico froze after hearing Ye Qingfeng’s explanation; Anbi, meanwhile, quietly sheathed her sword and said calmly: “I told you Qingfeng isn’t that kind of person. You misunderstood him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anbi!” Nico’s face instantly flushed crimson; she wanted to crawl into a hole. She cleared her throat feebly: “Cough! Uh... Qingfeng, how about we pretend this never happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over a month of living together, both Nico and Anbi trusted Ye Qingfeng—but Billy’s words that morning had planted a seed of doubt in Nico’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi, however, had trusted Ye Qingfeng from the start; when the two stood on opposite sides, it was no surprise she sided with Nico.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh...” Ye Qingfeng stared at Nico with a sardonic smile. “What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike her, Anbi had always believed in Ye Qingfeng, but when the two stood on opposite sides, she was unsurprised to find herself standing beside Nico.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico, feeling guilty under Ye Qingfeng’s unwavering gaze, turned her head away, cheeks burning, and let out a soft, adorable whine as she bit her lip and gave in: “Then what do you want?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng chuckled, a playful glint in his eyes as he scanned Nico and Anbi before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, let me be clear—this has nothing to do with Anbi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico stepped forward, standing alone in front of Anbi, taking full responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng felt like the villain—he was the one wrongly accused, the one slandered, and now here she was again, pulling this nonsense...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three conditions, or ten thousand Ding Ni?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng thought for a moment and stated his demand bluntly; Nico didn’t hesitate: “Three conditions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico is still the same Nico...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Tap to request updates.
